4 Important Bible Verses To Recite on Christmas Day
Christmas is an essential time of the year for Christians worldwide, signaling the commemoration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It’s a day when families come together to share and enjoy good times and reflect on what Jesus Christ means to them. The perfect way to celebrate this special occasion is with Scripture. We’ve compiled four important Bible verses to recite on Christmas Day as you celebrate.
The Hopeful Promise of Isaiah 7:14
“Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Right from the Old Testament, Isaiah prophesizes the birth of Christ through a virgin. This Bible passage gives us a clear picture of what was to come, which ultimately brings us to the birth of Christ. This verse brings hope and reminds us that God always keeps his promises. It’s perfect to read on Christmas Day.
The Foundation of Our Faith in Matthew 1:21
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
The birth of Christ represents the fulfillment of scripture, and this verse highlights Christ’s mission as the savior of humanity. The name Jesus means Savior, and that’s what he came to do: save humanity from sin and offer eternal life. This verse establishes the foundation of Christianity. We celebrate this foundation on Christmas, so Matthew 1:21 is a great verse for the day.
The Joy of Christmas in Luke 2:13
“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.’”
This verse highlights the jubilation of Jesus’s birth, with the angels praising God and offering goodwill towards men. We continue in this joy at Christmas. We should also read this verse and remember that Christmas should be a time of peace, love, and happiness for everyone.
The Miracle of the Incarnation in John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
This verse highlights the miracle of the Incarnation, underpinning the Christian faith and the entire point of Christmas. It rejoices in the fact that God became flesh and dwelt among us, walking a path that humans can relate to. This verse reminds us that Christ is both man and God, which is what makes celebrating his birth so amazing.
